Photos are a powerful way to express your feminine self.
Whether you take selfies or get professional photos, beautiful pictures can be a major confidence booster for any crossdresser or transgender woman.
The best part is, you don’t need to be a supermodel to look fabulous in photos! It’s all about skill – and avoiding a few common mistakes.
In this blog post, I’ll walk you through 5 common photo posing mistakes and how to fix them!
1. Shooting Shoulders Straight On
If you’re worried about having broad shoulders or a larger upper body, there’s a simple trick to help you achieve a slimmer appearance.
Simply angle your shoulders away from the camera to create a more flattering look. By doing so, you can minimize their width and create more feminine-looking body proportions.
2. Holding Your Body Too Straight
We all know the struggle of looking stiff and awkward in photos. The secret to capturing flattering and feminine shots is to embrace softness and curves in your body positioning.
Get playful and try bending your arms and legs slightly, tilting your head, pushing a hip out, and letting your fingers relax.
These simple adjustments can make a world of difference in creating attractive photos.
3. Shooting in Unflattering Light
Lighting makes all the difference in the world in photos. The #1 rule is to avoid strong overhead or side lighting since this creates ugly shadows on the face. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
- If at all possible, take photos in natural daylight. Try shooting in front of a window where there is soft natural light.
- If you are shooting indoors and don’t have enough natural light, use a ring light or try placing a couple lamps with soft lighting around you.
- If you’re outdoors, avoid shooting in strong midday sunlight. The best time of day is to shoot at dusk or dawn when the sun has a soft, diffused glow.
4. Placing the Camera Below Eye Level
If you want to avoid that dreaded double chin in your photos, never pose with the camera below eye level.
For a more flattering look, position the lens at or above eye level. This simple adjustment not only helps diminish a double chin and downplay a prominent jawline, but it also makes your eyes appear bigger and more captivating.
5. Not Engaging Your Mind
Looking great in photos is as much about mindset as it is about your appearance. Trust me, if you’re not feeling fabulous, it’ll definitely reflect in your pictures.
Now, let’s talk about boosting your confidence during those photo sessions. An easy trick is to imagine that you’re portraying a character, be it a real or imagined persona.
Think Megan Fox, Cleopatra, or Sophia Loren. By “modeling” yourself after someone else, you can tap into their energy and charisma, infusing your photos with that captivating aura.
Let’s see your best shot!
Taking great photos is only the first step. Sharing them with the world is where the real magic happens!
On that note, I’d love to see the photos you’re most proud of. Please share your femme photos in the comments below!
